DIEGO SANTOMÉ. CORNER PIECE AND OTHER CONFLICTING SPACES
The discursive strategies that provide the foundation for the work of Diego Santome? (Vigo, Spain, 1966) are directly linked to the concepts of utopia and failure, equilibrium and instability. In both the selection of the materials and the work process, Santome? bases his approach on subjects related to the circumstances of everyday life and their transformation, showing the possibility/impossibility of a new order leading to a balanced society.
